Mini CuteCosmetics Make-Up Haul

Two things happened in October - my eyebrow pencil ran out and 12 months were up on my eyeliner pencils! Joy for me as this meant I got to buy some new ones that I've been after for ages.


Liquirizia (Black)
Ebano (Brown)
Pioggia (Taupe)
Pianeta (Purple)

I'd not used them before but thanks to their price (£3.95 each) and amazing range of colours, I knew I'd try them as soon as I needed some new eyeliners. 
The pigments are amazing, are long lasting and it's so easy to build up colour. No tugging or pulling on the eye lid, just a swoop across the lash line and you're ready to go! Also a breeze to remove at the end of the day.
I'll certainly be picking up more colours (I'm looking at you, Petrolio) as I don't think you can go wrong for the price.

Defining my brows as been a bit of a recent revelation and now something I do every day as I feel it really sorts my face out!
I'd seen a couple of reviews on this and so when my Bare Minerals pencil ran out I added this to my trolley without shopping around.
I wouldn't say there was too much difference in the colours at either end, I suppose they have to blend and be subtle but I could use both without worrying too much.
As with the eyeliners, the pencil was really smooth and easy to apply - both for an every day light application and a more defined evening look.
Manga Brows is only £6.99 and so again I think this is a great price point, you get a spoolie with it too for brushing those brows and getting them into shape!

What eyeliner/ brow pencil do you use? Any suggestions for my next buys?

    1. I love that they don't slip off. I've tried loads of pencils that leave me with panda eyes by midday thanks to oily lids! x
